He tried his best and gave it 150% on the reactor every match. He learned a valuable lesson today, and got standing ovation from the crowd even though he lost. I still bought him the samurai sword (a first place prize in weight class) cause he had the guts to get up there and fight in front of 2k people. VERY hard for a father to see a son sacrifice, train, struggle, suffer, and loose.

I do not push hi at all. I train him only with exercise. He does Kung Fu also 3 days a week, and MMA 3 days a week and Tball 2 days a week. He is just an athlete. I always ask him if its too much but he loves it and gets straight A's , so who am I to tell him no. We are cutting back to 2 activities a week now once school starts up again.
